    Only If You Use A No-Peroxide/No-Ammonia Color. And Your Hair And Scalp MUST Be In Good Condition. For PERMANENT COLOR: Wait At Least Two Weeks And One Shampoo-(VERY Important !) And Deep Condition Your Hair First. Try Using A No-Ammonia Color Or One Made Especially For Relaxed/Fragile Hair. If You Want To Go Lighter - See A Professional Haircolorist. YOU CAN MELT YOUR HAIR And Damage Your Scalp If You Try To Bleach Or Go Too Light After A Relaxer!!

    No no no....Don't even attempt that I just did that in June and what a mess. It took me until Sept to get my hair looking halfway decent. I had to use plenty of mane and tail shampoo and conditioner and I could barely use heating tools on my hair because it would frizz. Just wait as long as you can. I would even go longer then 2 wks.

    Good Luck.

    Only if your hair is really short. If it's medium to long length. It's a two week wait.

    in the salon we do depending on the overall state of the hair, if your hair is brittle or damaged then no peroxide definately, the harmony range of semi p s are very good and quite conditioning, but to be honest... go to your salon

    NO. YOU HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST TWO WEEKS TO DO THIS PROCESS, OTHERWISE YOUR HAIR CAN BREAK BY BEING OVER-PROCESSED.
